After roughly 18 years of inactivity, the band reformed with vocalist Nilton Bobato and guitarist Zepa Costa among its ranks, picking up where their gritty, war-themed death/thrash left off.
Fortaleza, BR · 2024–present · active
Mortuário A.D. channels the raw, bestial energy of early Brazilian extreme metal through a death/thrash lens, citing Sepultura, Sarcófago, Mutilator, Vulcano, Obituary, and Hellhammer as touchstones. Their second release, "Die in Pain," dropped on Halloween 2024 and captures the horror-soaked ferocity the band has built its identity around.
Goiânia, BR · 2018–present · active
A stalwart of the Goiânia metal scene, Mugo mixes death metal heaviness with thrash energy and pronounced groove, drawing comparisons to Obituary and At the Gates.

São Cristóvão / Boquim, BR · 2012–present · active
A two-member war machine built around Aubert Mutilator on vocals and programming and Iscariot Destructor on guitars and bass, Mutilação Anticristã traffics in raw, lo-fi black/death metal with an uncompromising anti-Christian and satanic worldview. The duo released "Metal Negro Anticristo" in 2012 and followed it with the even more abrasive "Noite de Sexo Bestial e Profano" in 2014, both recorded in the Sergipe underground without concession to polish or accessibility.
Osasco, BR · 2005–present · active
Mythological Cold Towers deal in slow, heavy doom that draws equally from the death-doom tradition and epic doom's grandiose sweep, with lyrical themes orbiting ancient South American civilizations, mythology, and lost monuments. Albums like Immemorial (2011) and Monvmenta Antiqva (2015) display the band's ability to balance crushing heaviness with melodic keyboard passages and an almost archaeological sense of atmosphere.
